    Was there any talk on stopping the "doe" hunt on either species as the deer populations in BC is decimated
    ?????
    And That Is That

    Here's the link, looks like they uploaded it to youtube! Super interesting information on mortality rates and causes. Looks like food abundance is more important than predation rates for long term mule deer survival.

    Are you saying that the BC whitetail deer population has been decimated?

    Found the predator impact sections most interesting. Don't know if too many will like the predator impact findings from down in the states - similar mule deer mortality in predator control area vs. non-predator control area. But didn't get into why, like were predators were just keeping populations at winter carrying capacity in the non-predator control area, etc...?

    The animation (video) overlaid on maps of migration data by date was pretty neat. They can get some pretty cool things with GPS now. Also, the average migration start times were a bit earlier than I expected.

    Was it interesting, had it up on the tv and my kids sat through the whole presentation, so ya.
    I found that interesting too. I'm thinking with robust ungulate populations, at or near carrying capacity, predation is not a major factor. For example, if you have a herd of 5000 deer and in their range you have four cougars, you won't notice the 200 deer the cougars take annually. If however, you only have a few hundred or a thousand in the same area, with the same four cats, then the 200 taken may drive the population down, especially if habitat is sub-optimal.
    I won't always be young, but I can be immature forever

    Short answer? Nope, there was not. The talk was an update on the Southern Interior Mule Deer study, meaning it was limited to mule deer in the 4 areas, what they do, and what kills them. It didn't address whitetail at all, as they aren't part of the study.

    There are no GOS on muley does in any of those areas.

    There are LEH opportunities for muley does, but I'm not sure if there was any data presented in the webinar indicating that any of the collared mule deer does were killed by hunters. I will try to get back and take a look to see if hunter harvest turns up in the mortality records.

    At the 53:16 mark of the video it shows that 2 of 83 mortalities (or 2.4%) were due to harvesting.
    If an animal is going to die so that I might live, the least I can do is perform the unsavoury deed myself.

    I'm going to look into future editions of these sorts of webinars *not* being limited to 100 people. Hopefully we have the technology.

    I was just taking to folks to find out what was happening.
    Encountered Doe #7 (or was it #9??) and # 19 (or was it #17???).....lol.
